[Reclamation Project]

Quick's reaction said it all.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Kings WIN! Do the Carlton!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ovechkin remains scoreless at Staples.

Quick is Spider-Man.

Kopitar, Gaborik, and Williams making it happen.

 

[BigBrown]

Hooray! Feels nice to win.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Something I noticed - Kopitar has a tattoo ring. Pretty cool.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Oh yah!

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Thank god.

Please stop hamstringing Carter's line with Richards and King please.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Man, that bench erupted.. Even though its Sutter's 500th, I'm positive his unusual reaction was all about how badly we needed this.

[Jason Lewis]

That Sutter/Payne fist bump might be my favorite moment of the season.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

That reaction was awesome, we needed this. Sutter and Quick can both get those monkeys off their backs now.

 

[damacles1156]

Where would this franchise be without Quick....Scary.

A-Mart and Muzzin were great tonight. Doughty.....Pull your head out of your a^&s mister seven million.

Richards....terrible bro, terrible.

Slava has played better, he needs to score a goal though.

Gaborik is unreal, the Kings have been missing this kind of player since Ziggy left.

Better find the cap space to re-sign this guy, he and Kopitar are going to be awesome together for the next 3-4 years if Dean doesn't mess it up in negotiations.

 

[kingsholygrail]

BTW, Brown quietly had a pretty solid game. Very physical and very active.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I too am ready to resign Gaborik, he's the player Kopi has been missing his whole career

 

[KingKopitar11*]

That Sutter/Payne fist bump might be my favorite moment of the season.

Pretty much, You can tell it meant a lot because Sutter never does that.

Gaborik is unreal, the Kings have been missing this kind of player since Ziggy left.

Better find the cap space to re-sign this guy, he and Kopitar are going to be awesome together for the next 3-4 years if Dean doesn't mess it up in negotiations.

Agreed. He reminds me of ziggy in a way.

 

[KINGS17]

The Kings won't be going far in the playoffs if Doughty continues to play this way.

He has not been good for at least the last 3 games in a row.

 

[Reclamation Project]

That Sutter/Payne fist bump might be my favorite moment of the season.

I wanted to see the Sutter/Stevens one, but as usual, FSW can't produce a show

 

[KingKopitar11*]

BTW, Brown quietly had a pretty solid game. Very physical and very active.

Yes, he did. Not sure how much Ice time he got, but when he was on, he looked good.

They need to get Stoll with Carter. Right now , as weird as it is to say, Stoll is a catalyst. He's a very hard worker, they need to get carter back on track.

 

[damacles1156]

The Kings won't be going far in the playoffs if Doughty continues to play this way.

He has not been good for at least the last 3 games in a row.

More like since the Games. He has been average too bad since coming back.

 

[Herby]

The biggest issue right now is how to maximize Jeff Carter, because it's not going to happen with his current linemates. King and Richards could form a nice start to a bottom six line, but top 6, not a chance. Sutter is totally wasting one of his elite talents by having him with those two.

I was previously against it but maybe moving Carter back to C is the way to go, let him center Toffoli (for sure) and then either Brown or Pearson on the left wing. That is assuming Sutter will never have him with Kopitar and Gaborik five on five.

 

[MynameisKing]

Big WIN!!!!!!! Felt like the Caps were coming on and we were holding on towards the end. Getting the 2 was huge!!!
